SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson Fistel, LLP, is investigating potential claims against Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak" or "the Company") (NYSE:KODK) for violations of federal securities laws.

On August 3, 2020, The Wall Street Journal announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating the circumstances around Kodak's July 2020 announcement of a $765 million government loan to make drugs at its U.S. factories. Following the announcement, Kodak's stock price climbed sharply from a closing price of $2.62 per share on July 27, 2020 to close at $33.20 per share on July 29, 2020. Then, on August 1, 2020, Reuters reported that prior to the announcement of the loan, Kodak "granted its executive chairman options for 1.75 million shares as the result of what a person familiar with the arrangement described as an 'understanding' with its board that had previously neither been listed in his employment contract nor made public."
